Site Page - Posted by senoa - In Reply to: Cheap Accommodations
in Cancun or in a city next to it posted by - I'm planning to
visit mexico in october and i was wondering if there is any place around
Cancun where I could get a low budget accommodation. I would like to stay
away from the usual tourists traps.. I would be very grateful if someone
could help me to fine a cheap place in this area.. Thanks in advance :))
: Please send me a email if you have any infos on this.
Answer: There is a really cheap condominium in the downtown Cancun
area outside of the normal tourist traps, but close enough to the buses
and the hotel zone. The name is Coconut Inn and it is located on a street
name Avenida Labna. Most of the taxi drivers and airport buses know where
it is. Call in advance - the local number is 84-01-93. The owner speaks
english - $ and there is enough space for at least four people in the condo.
There a two double beds, a fridge, a hot plate, a small livingroom/diningroom
area and a bathroom. It is very clean - there is daily maid service. You
will meet travelers from all over the world. It is very quiet and in a
very safe area. Good luck and have a great time.
- Would prefer minimal accommodations (enough just for a place
to sleep, nothing more--last time stayed at Maria del Lourdes in downtown
Cancun rather than on the beach. Hotel Maria de Lourdes - Av Yaxchilan

Yucatan : :I was in the Yucatan last January & found some totally inexpensive
but nice places in Valladolid, Merida, Isla Mujeres & Chichen Itza
$ I will contact you tomorrow as I am at work & don't have the names
with me. Also, I used Frommer's Travel Book on the Yucatan & it is
very accurate.

From Juan from Texas This information was Posted
on Add Your Site Page - Being from South Texas, I can appreciate
the sights and sounds of a beautiful beach (South Padre Island, Tx), but
nothing prepared me for the beaches of Cancun, Mexico. Nothing compares.
Don't miss the ruins, they are spectacular.

- to BioSphere south of Cancun. Even the country of Belize is not that
far away. There are 5 star all inclusive resorts on the beach - there are
small downtown hotels which are clean and well kept and more for the budget
minded traveler.
.
Cancun is divided in to two distinct areas - The Hotel Zone and the
Downtown Zone - The Hotel Zone is very modern - great beaches - built for
the tourist. The Downtown Zone is the real city in Mexico - less expensive
hotels - local markets. There is regular bus service between the two Zones
and is an approximately 20 minute bus ride.
